Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

"You can only eat one of these demon cores per month, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it. Once you learn to control fire and practice the Golden Light Mantra, you can eat one per week."

"Brother, why can't I directly cultivate the Golden Light Mantra?!"

Looking at Xiaoyuechu's eager expression, Haoyang saw right through his cheap little brother in just one glance. This stupid little brother of his was in such a hurry to cultivate the Golden Light Mantra because he wanted to eat more demon cores and then show off in front of his fairy sister.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Dongfang Haoyang tapped Yuechu's head and explained with a serious expression, holding up one finger.

"Fire control is fundamental. Without it, you cannot skillfully control the pure Yang Flame within your body, and you will not be able to quickly refine the enormous demonic power within the pill. You won't even be able to absorb it, and refining the Golden Light Mantra would be a waste of the pill."

"Huh?! Is that so? Then I can't control the Pure Yang Flame skillfully right now. Why do I feel a warm sensation in my lower abdomen after eating the demon core? It seems like it's actually being absorbed."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled and patted Yuechu's head.

"That's because you and I have the bloodline of the Eastern Spirit Clan in our bodies. Even if we can't use the pure Yang Flame to accelerate the refining process, we can rely on the spiritual blood in our bodies to passively assist you in digesting it, although it will take much longer."

Smiling, Dongfang Haoyang continued with his hands behind his back.

"This is the unique advantage of our Eastern clan's bloodline. Other cultivators need to find all kinds of rare and precious materials to help them absorb, but we can use the pure Yang Flame in our bodies to refine it and then absorb it directly after purification."

"Wow! Does that mean I don't need to work hard to cultivate; I can become stronger just by taking pills!"

Dongfang Haoyang's lips twitched violently. Just as he expected, this kid really wanted to slack off! He punched Dongfang Yuechu on the head! With a forced smile, he moved his shoulder and neck joints, and Haoyang's body made a series of crisp cracking sounds.

"Let me see you slack off! If you don't train properly, I'll break both your legs!" With that, Dongfang Haoyang pressed down on Yuechu, who was trying to get up and run away, and gave him a good beating with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!

"Brother, brother, I was just kidding! I'll cultivate diligently, I promise! Don't hit me, don't hit me!"

…………

On Tu Shan Hong Hong's side, thanks to the efforts of many matchmakers, the giant Bitter Love Tree has been completely restored. The fox demons sat on the ground, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, and meditating to recover their demonic power.

Repairing the Bitter Love Tree was no easy task. Because the tree was severely burned, its restoration required a large amount of demonic power. In order to replenish this enormous amount of demonic power, the matchmakers almost exhausted their own demonic power.

"Miss Rongrong, you should take a rest too. You've done the most work."

Looking at Tu Shan Rongrong, who was still refining the demonic power inside the Bitter Love Tree, a matchmaker's eyes couldn't hide her heartache.

Tu Shan Rongrong shook her head firmly.

"No, the Bitter Love Tree has just recovered and still needs to absorb spiritual energy to recuperate. My sister and I can stay here. You two go back and rest."

The matchmakers looked at each other, wanting to help more, but their demonic power was already exhausted. Staying there wouldn't be of much use, and might even interfere with Miss Rongrong's refining of demonic power.

"Then please take care, Miss Rongrong. Our magical powers are too weak, so we will take our leave now."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

After the fox demons left, Tu Shan Rongrong formed a hand seal with one hand, and the emerald green demonic power in her body continuously entered the Bitter Love Tree to help stabilize the newly injected demonic power inside the tree. This demonic power was like various kinds of blood being injected into the same person's body.

What Rongrong needs is to refine all this demonic power into the purest spiritual power, that is, to restore the demonic power into spiritual power so that the Bitter Love Tree can absorb it.

However, the immense demonic power within the tree was like the size of an elephant compared to Rongrong's demonic power.

Just by listening to it, you can tell how difficult the refining process is.

But she must hold on. If she encounters any problems or slacks off even slightly, the various demonic energies within the Bitter Love Tree will repel each other, causing an adverse reaction. In that case, the Bitter Love Tree may wither and die.

On Tu Shan Hong Hong's side, the demons, deeply shocked by Dongfang Haoyang, all expressed that they would no longer cause trouble and would strictly abide by the rules of Tu Shan.

Afterwards, the demons flew back to their dwellings around the Bitter Love Tree.

These demon kings are the last protective force of Tushan, but they only protect the safety of the Bitter Love Tree. However, for the sake of that Taoist priest, they will obey the orders of Tushan Honghong. This is a promise they made themselves, which can be considered an unexpected bonus.

After dealing with the troublesome demon kings, Tu Shan Honghong quickly flew to Rongrong's side and began to help Rongrong refine the demonic power inside the Bitter Love Tree.

Looking at Rongrong, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat and who was breathing heavily, her thin body trembling, Tushan Honghong's eyes were filled with unconcealed heartache.

Unfortunately, Ya'er wasn't there at the moment, so Lord Haoyang couldn't make a move; otherwise, things would have been much easier.

Tu Shan Ya Ya possesses immense and extremely pure demonic power, with strong adaptability. It can be considered a versatile O-type blood type among demonic powers, allowing anyone who obtains her demonic power to use it freely. Meanwhile, Dongfang Haoyang possesses pure Yang Flame, making the refinement of this demonic power even easier for him.

It's a pity that neither of them were present. If either of them had been there, Rongrong wouldn't have been struggling so much. However, with his help, the pressure on Rongrong's side was significantly reduced, even though his demonic power couldn't be directly used as a supplement.

Tu Shan Hong Hong's demonic power is extremely domineering and immense. It can maintain the stability inside the Bitter Love Tree, but its refining effect is not good, so it can only be left to Rong Rong.

The two demons worked for a while until the sun began to slowly set, and only then did they refine a small portion of the demonic power within the Bitter Love Tree.

Seeing Rongrong's forehead covered in cold sweat, Tu Shan Honghong quickly called for a stop. It seemed that the difficulty of refining was much greater than she had imagined, and Rongrong was clearly not able to handle it.

"Rongrong, you rest for a bit, I'll stabilize the Bitter Love Tree."

"Okay, that's fine. Sister, hang in there a little longer. I'll recover my demonic power and be done with it soon." Rongrong wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat cross-legged to begin her recovery.

At that moment, a boy with a cockroach-like hairstyle and two long tufts of hair on his head walked towards the two girls with a kind smile on his face. He was carrying a square lunchbox with a pink heart pattern in his hand.

"Fairy Sister, here's your lovingly prepared bento."

Tu Shan Honghong's lips twitched violently as she looked at Dongfang Yuechu holding up the lunchbox. Then she gritted her teeth and scolded him in a low voice.

"What are you doing here at this time?! Go back right now!"

This is no child's play. If the immense demonic power within the Bitter Love Tree gets out of control, the resulting demonic power surge could kill Xiao Yuechu right in front of us with just the aftershocks.

"I'm here to help, of course."

Dongfang Yuechu smiled and placed the lunchbox aside. Looking at Tushan Honghong, who was slapping her hands on the Bitter Love Tree to suppress her, he smiled and took out three small brown-red pills from his pocket.

"These are pills my brother refined; they can enhance demonic power. Come, fairy sister~"

Dongfang Yuechu smiled and tapped his foot, holding a pill, and fed it to Tushan Honghong's pink lips.

Tu Shan Honghong could tell that these pills were of superior quality and contained considerable demonic power. Having no better option at the moment, she pursed her lips and shyly ate the red pill that Dongfang Yuechu was holding. She could feel the warmth of the pill on her lips, the lingering warmth from Xiao Yuechu's fingers.

Tu Shan Rongrong also took the pill from Dongfang Yuechu's hand. Hearing from Yuechu that it was made by Dongfang Haoyang, she swallowed it without hesitation.

As soon as the two women swallowed the pills, they felt a warm sensation in their lower abdomens, indicating that the demonic energy within the pills was being rapidly absorbed by them.

"How amazing." Tu Shan Honghong looked at her palm and could clearly feel her demon power increasing.

The effect was even more pronounced on Tu Shan Rongrong; the warm sensation in her lower abdomen continued, and her demonic power was constantly increasing.

Rongrong had the least magical power among the three sisters, and her physical body was not as strong as her two older sisters, so her improvement was the most obvious. Before long, she felt the demonic power in her body surge, and in the end, it increased by more than 100%.

Tu Shan Rongrong clutched her warm lower abdomen, a smile spreading across her face, but a mischievous thought crept into her mind; she wanted to tease that big block of wood.
